The making of "Fargo"

I wouldn't be a true Minnesotan if I didn't repost this documentary about the making of this movie. You betcha.

The film earned seven Academy Award nominations, winning two for Best
Original Screenplay for the Coens and Best Actress in a Leading Role for
McDormand. It also won the BAFTA Award and the Award for Best Director
for Joel Coen at the 1996 Cannes Film Festival.

In 2006 it was
deemed "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant" and
inducted into the United States National Film Registry. It is currently
the most recently made feature length film in the Registry."

I was working with two people from up Brainerd way when this film came out.They didn't like it.One of them also claimed that it was NOT a true story - maybe that's why they didn't like it.I don't care, I love this film.-YouBetchA-

"Tai-wiki-widbee" is an eclectic mix of trivialities, ephemera, curiosities, and exotica with a smattering of current events, social commentary, science, history, English language and literature, videos, and humor. We try to be the cyberequivalent of a Victorian cabinet of curiosities.
